Notes and Disclaimers
*********************

This page has some various disclaimers and notes about the service.

A Note on Security
==================
Be sure to trust the `CaCert Root Certificate`_ so that you can use the main server
with encryption.  There is a brief tutorial on how to trust this cert `located here`_.

If you don't want to install random root certificates from the internet, then you can
just install the Hydra Paste certificate manually on your machine instead.  Manually
download the TLS certificate to your browser, and use that instead of trusting CACert.
The SHA1 fingerprint of the Hydra Paste CACert certificate is
``04:D5:91:53:FB:2E:71:42:AF:43:67:C5:B5:B3:C3:7E:F0:F6:B5:B6``. Please verify this if
you are manually installing the certiicate. If you are using Hydra Paste on an alternate
server, this certificate will be different (*duh*).

A Note on Privacy
=================

I promise that I won't share information about you unless I'm handcuffed, gagged, and hit
with a `$5 Wrench`_.  But, are going to trust some random dude on the internet with your
privacy?  Just don't upload illegal shit and we'll be cool.  Also, by the nature of this
service, administrator (me, linuxtinkerer) can see all your files.  I hope you're cool
with me seeing your shitty art portfolio. I'll try not to laugh too much.

If you want privacy, then encrypt your shit and use Tor + a VPN.

A Note on Support
=================

I give you this service for free with no warranty. If you hop onto the `IRC`_, I'll do
my best to help you out. Be reminded that this IS a *free* service. You aren't the
product here, but you also aren't entitled to any support. I want to help you out, but
you're not getting any sympathy if you're a dick. If you want premium support, send
me some damn bitcoins. ::
